I am an undergraduate student working here at the National Library of
Medicine.  I brought a copy of SCHEME 84 with me from Indiana University,
and have been asked to give a presentation of its capabilities.  
It is tail-recursive, statically scoped, and incorporates the concept of 
engines, and thus is very good for demonstrating object-oriented programming, 
data streams, and delayed evaluation.  But I don't know where to start in 
presenting these ideas to C programmers.  Any suggestions would be 
appreciated; I am having trouble contacting my professors this summer.
